Disclaimer: Okay, I don't own the Animorphs. And in this story, the only
characters I own are Terry and Sub-visser forty-three. Various reviewers of
this fanfic own the others. (Thanks you guys!)
A/N: Okay, since it seems that none of you people have a speck of evil in your hearts, you all want your characters to be goody-too-shoes. Sigh~ Oh well. Anyway, that was your last chance to submit a character, so the roster is now closed. Sorry to all out there who wanted to have a character, but I have no more space! Thanks to all who submitted anyway!

The night was getting colder, and I was returning to my den. Well, not my den exactly. It's my pack's den. My pack allowed me into their family a few weeks after I had gotten stuck in my wolf form. They even seemed to accept that I wasn't fully a wolf. Strange, how these wolves know that I'm not wild.
As I approached the mouth of the den, I heard a rustle from behind me. I turned around, and found Ax. Ax is not a human, or any Earth creature for that matter. He's an Andalite, and his real name is Aximili-Esgarrouth- Isthill. Now you can see why we call him Ax. An Andalite looks like a cross between a human, a blue deer, and a scorpion. They have sort of a humanoid torso, and a deer's body. You know, almost like a centaur, those mythical half human half horse things. But Ax has no mouth, like all Andalites, and communicates by thought-speaking, sort of like telepathy. They also have little stalks on top of their head that has two eyes sitting on them. The thing that catches your attention most is probably the tail though. It's long, muscular, and ends in a deadly scythe-like blade. One twitch, and Ax can send your head flying across the room. When Ax holds his tail in fighting position, it looks exactly like a scorpion's tail right before it strikes the enemy.
Hello Raz.
Hey Ax.
Prince Brian wants us to meet at 'the shack'.
Since Ax is an Andalite, he serves a prince. And since he's on Earth and the only other Andalite here is Visser Three, he calls Brian his prince. Maybe also because Brian is sort of our unofficial leader.
Okay. I'll be there in a few.
A few? A few what?
Never mind. Just tell Brian I'll be there soon.
Okay.
See ya.
Ax disappeared into the trees, and I entered the den. I walked passed the other wolves, and went straight to the pups at the back of the cave. They yapped and barked when I fed them the food that I had brought. No, these weren't my pups. They were the Alphas' pups. But it's the job of the pack to feed them whenever they go on a hunt, alone or with the pack. I then went out of the cave, and headed for the abandoned cabin we called, 'the shack.'
When I arrived at the cabin, everyone was already inside. At least the cabin wasn't dirty or anything. Well, it used to be until we cleaned it up and brought some stuff in. I saw a raven perched on a windowsill.
She's here,it said, and fluttered back into the house.
Terry demorphed, and we all stood there. An awkward bunch of kids, a wolf, and an alien.
"Everyone's here. So, what's up Bri?" Luke said, almost nonchalantly.
"Well, here's the deal. Michelle just heard from the Chee that the Yeerks are targeting the scientists that are experimenting on making biomechanical creatures," Brian started slowly.
"Yeah? So what's the big deal? Let's just go in and burn some slugs like we always do," Terry said, with her frightening warrior grin.
"I wish it were that easy," Brian sighed. "But according to Erek and Michelle, Sub-visser forty-three will be there."
Terry's smile fell off her face. Everyone fell silent.
"What are we going to do?" Michelle asked in panic.
We still have to stop the Yeerks from infesting the scientists! Either that, or we die trying, I said quietly.
"Or we could try to recruit new members..." Michelle said thoughtfully.
"No. That's how Visser Three got his hands on the blue box the first time," Brian said strictly.
We had once tried to recruit new members, but Visser Three got the blue box because of that. We were able to get it back, but not after a handful of the Yeerks were able to get the morphing technology.
No one spoke for a while.
This mission will be awfully dangerous, but I suppose Raz is right. We must stop the Yeerks, or risk them having new and more powerful host bodies, Ax broke the silence.
"Yeah, but DIE TRYING? Come on. It's only one mission. I say we sit this one out," Luke said, and crossed his arms.
"Hello?! Anyone in there Luke?! We're talking half animal half machines here! What do you think will happen if the Yeerks are able to infest them!? Do you really want to fight against those things?!" Terry yelled suddenly.
"What if the biomechanical things aren't able to be infested?! Then what huh?! We die trying to stop something that can't happen?!" Luke yelled back.
"You guys! Just SHUT UP!" Brian yelled over the two voices.
Terry and Luke stopped arguing, and they both plopped down on the couch, but both still growling at each other.
"They're both right. Let's have a vote," Brian said, like at any other mission.
"We go," Terry said almost immediately, like everyone expected.
I say we go, I said.
"No go," Luke said.
I shall follow my prince, Ax said, and looked toward Brian.
"I know both Terry and Luke are right... That there may be a chance that the biomechs can and can't be infested... but I don't want to take the chance of them being able to be enslaved. I say we go," Michelle said, boldly.
"It unanimous," Brian said, always being able to make a decision that he doesn't have a part in.
"All right!" Terry said.
I say me and Ax inspect the place tomorrow while you guys are at school. That way we can tell you the floor plan and everything. It'll make the job a little easier for us tonight, I said.
"Yeah okay. But just be careful okay? We don't know what kind of security the Yeerks have already set up around the place," Brian said, with a worried look.
I hate it how he always pities me. The way he looks at me with those soft worried eyes annoy me. I hate it.
Don't worry fearless leader. We'll be safe.
I jumped out the window, and ran back to the den.
---------------------------------
There it is, Ax, I said.
Yes, I can see it clearly, Ax said, as he soared overhead in his harrier morph.
I'm going to move in closer. You keep watch, I said, and crept closer and closer to the concealed building.
Sure enough, just as Brian had said, I saw some Hork-Bajir controllers walking around. I started to worry that maybe the Yeerks had already struck. I crept around some more, looking for anyway I could sneak inside.
Ax, maybe we should morph and go inside, I said.
We could try, but it may be quite hard with only the two of us. I see very advanced security technology. Well, not as advanced as we Andalites are, Ax said.
I rolled my eyes. Andalites are too arrogant. Then I heard a soft 'choot!' and there was a sharp pain in my right front leg.
Ah! I cried in pain.
My legs gave way, and I fell onto the ground.
Raz? Are you okay? a worried Ax asked.
He was coming down.
No Ax! Stay up and out of sight! I think there's a sniper!
I saw a bullet whiz passed the harrier.
Ah! Ax yelled and wheeled higher into the sky.
There was a soft crunching noise of footsteps, and then I saw him. I growled a little, but I was weak. I was losing blood rapidly, and I couldn't morph right in front of Sub-visser forty-three. Right then I'd wished I had an Andalite morph.
"Well, well, well. Looks like I caught myself an Andalite," the Sub-visser sneered. "You Andalites know nothing about camouflage do you? A white wolf in a green forest stands out quite well. I've also seen you enough times that I know a white wolf with amber eyes is an Andalite. Anyway, do you like my new gun? It's called a long-range awp sniper rifle; human gun actually. Very accurate and deadly. But of course, I didn't want to kill you my precious little Andalite bandit. Visser Three would not permit me to waste such a good host body."
Sub-visser forty-three grinned, and snapped his fingers. Five Hork-Bajir were at his side in seconds.
"Now that's what I call loyal servants," the Sub-visser laughed. "Take him away. Make sure he doesn't morph. If he gets away, I will personally kill each and everyone of you slowly and painfully!"
The Hork-Bajir lifted me up onto a stretcher-like thing, and carried me away. The Sub-visser morphed into a golden eagle, and rose up into the sky.
I'm going to go get your bird friend now. Soon enough you'll have some company, Sub-visser forty-three flapped hard, and a gust of wind sent him flying into the vast blue sky. Oh and one more thing. I know your secret 'Andalite.' I know you're not really what the Visser thinks. But don't worry, you secret is safe with me... for now, the Sub-visser scoffed to me in private thought-speech. Now, to add another trophy to my collection! he said, this time openly.
I was speechless. How did the Sub-visser know we weren't Andalites? It just didn't add up! I tried to warn Ax, but he was too far off, and I was too weak. I couldn't even struggle. I lay still on the stretcher, as the Hokr- Bajir Controllers carried me away.
A/N: I know that wasn't the most well written chapter, but it was early okay? I was also attempting to make everything make sense, so hope it does! Anyway... Oh no! What are we going to do!? Raz is captured and Ax might be to! AHHH! Please review! Oh, and one more thing. I forgot to ask for your characters' favorite morphs~! Please include that in your review also! Thankies! XD
